Our History
Our roots in sustainable design and development extend back to 1980, when The Masters Corporation was established as an architectural design/build company.
In 1995, Sustainable Environment Associates Corporation (SEAS) emerged as a sustainable development research, design, and consulting enterprise focused on addressing the growing challenges of climate change and sustainable development. Its work has served government agencies, corporations, nonprofit organizations, and private clients in the United States and internationally.
In 1998, SEAS created Pangaeon to bring together a global network of expertise across multiple disciplines.
Today, Pangaeon builds upon that foundation through Integrated Infrastructure—bringing traditionally separate systems, technologies, and disciplines together to create more resilient, resource-efficient, and economically viable solutions.
Paul Bierman-Lytle is President of Sustainable Environment Associates Corp (SEAS). Paul received his M.Arch. degree from Yale University School of Architecture and is currently a licensed architect in California, Connecticut, Minnesota, Tennessee and Missouri.
